Walk in Peace Today

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Walk in peace today. Prepare your way of peace for the day, right now. See the day laid out before you covered with a comforting blanket of peace… Feel the peace calming you and steadying your feet… Observe your thoughts become quiet… Feel the Love that is the Source of peace flowing through you… See the blanket of peace bringing peace to the minds of all who are before you, behind you and all about…

This blanket of peace is not limited by time nor space… It brings gentleness and calm to every mind that makes way for it to enter… For those who are unwilling to accept it now, this peace is held for them, ready to be received in any moment of willingness… As you hold the thought and the state of peace in your mind today, you experience Love’s blessing and give it…

This is your purpose. The context may appear to be making phone calls, meeting people, making decisions in the world, yet the core and only meaningful purpose is to bring peace. As you are willing to let go of conflicting thoughts, to forgive, you bring peace into the world. You light the world with God’s gift of Love. This is your function.


Holy Spirit to Mary:
As you go through your day today, ask for the veil to be lifted to see the face of Christ. You get what you focus on. The face of Christ is always there to see as you are willing to see it. Let this be your practice for today.

Receive Love’s Blessing Today

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Love is simple and uncomplicated. Love is changeless. It is eternally present. Open to Love today. Practice receiving Love and extending the Love that is your reality. Love is gentle. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love looks past mistaken thoughts to what is true. Be in Love today.


Holy Spirit to Robert:
When you let yourself be in Love, you feel perfectly safe, for there is no conflict in Love. When you accept your place in Love, you have perfect certainty, knowing all your needs are met. Because you were created by Love, you are wholly worthy of all Its gifts. Being in Love, your only function is to extend Love. As you offer It, you receive and feel Its blessing. Be blessed today by extending Love’s blessing.

The Home of Perfect Purity

The Home of Perfect Purity
Mary:
In our reading of A Course in Miracles this morning, this is what stood out to me: “Heaven is the home of perfect purity, and God created it for you. Look on your holy brother, sinless as yourself, and let him lead you there.” (T-22.II.13:6-7)

If I am to experience the joy and peace of Heaven, I will practice today looking at the holiness of every brother and allowing the Holy Spirit in him to lead me to Heaven. My practice today is to remember Heaven’s changeless joy and to remember that this is the truth of every brother I see or even think of. This will bring me a happy day. I accept God’s happiness as mine.


Robert:
If I want the joy of Heaven, I need to accept God’s gift of Love. They are one and the same. If I think that any form in the world will make me happy, I am choosing a substitute for joy. Any substitute will have fear beneath the surface appearance because at least unconsciously I know that the appearance is not real and can change in an instant. Yet God’s gift of Love is ever-present, ready to be accepted in the present moment.

As I accept the Love of God, the value I have given to the images of the world fades away. The changelessness of His Love brings deep peace, for there can be no threat in what never changes. I ask the Holy Spirit to guide my vision today that I may see the the truth of Love everywhere and experience the certainty of Love.

Remembering the Truth in Me and My Brother

Robert:
I would remember that the truth in me, my true Identity, is God’s beloved Son… With that memory comes the feeling of perfect safety and the recognition that all my needs are met… I rest in God; there is nowhere else… His Love is mine; there is nothing else… I would remember this today.


Mary:
Today is a day of stepping back and listening. Today is a day of watching my thoughts. Does this thought come from the Holy Spirit? If the thought does not reflect oneness, then today is a day for handing all thoughts that do not reflect oneness to my true Self for correction.

Today is a day of practice, seeing the Light of God in every brother, Which is all that is true about him/her. This practicing is what today is for. And I give thanks.

Remembering My Home in Love

Robert:
This is my prayer today: Help me to use all my perceptions and all my seeming abilities as You would have them used. I accept Your singular purpose as my own — I want to see the Love of God and nothing else. I want to remember Who I am. I want to be Love’s reflection in this world.


Mary:
Let my mind be still and remember simple, uncomplicated Love today. This world is not my home. Let me remember my Home in God’s Love today.

Deciding for Heaven

Mary:
In our reading of A Course in Miracles this morning, we were led to read lesson 138, “Heaven is the decision I must make.” The following paragraph really helped me:

Heaven is chosen consciously. The choice cannot be made before alternatives are accurately seen and understood. All that is veiled in shadows must be raised to understanding, to be judged again, this time with Heaven’s help. And all mistakes in judgment that the mind had made before are open to correction, as the truth dismisses them as causeless. Now are they without effects. They cannot be concealed because their nothingness is recognized. (W-pI.138.9)

Today it is my opportunity to look on all things today with Heaven’s help. I choose to look on all my mistakes in judgment and open them to correction. I choose to see the difference between my mistaken thoughts and the real Thoughts the Holy Spirit brings. Heaven is right there in my mind, waiting for me to open the door and give It welcome. The Light has come as I am willing. The correction of my mistaken perceptions is all that time is for. And I give thanks because of the healing and peace it brings.


Robert:
Today I had the thought that the house we are in is a temporary home because it is rented. Immediately the next thought that came in was that this world is a temporary home. I pay the “rent” with belief in separation, guilt and fear. But I already have a Home that is rent free, eternal and filled with Love. I need only accept that I am one with It to know that I am Home eternally. It cannot be temporary because this Home has no time. Today I ask the Holy Spirit to help me recognize when I am paying rent with thoughts of separation and guilt and to see these thoughts as He sees them. With His vision it is easy to make the decision for Heaven, my rent-free, eternal Home.

I Would Remember Only Love Is Real

Mary:
This is my prayer today:

Holy Spirit, I offer you this perception of differences. I would remember that only Love is real. I would remember my true Identity today. I would see the face of Christ in every brother to remember my one Self.


Robert:
I have observed that I have an unconscious range of how much unhappiness and how much happiness I will tolerate. I can go for awhile with a low level sense of dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction often is not consciously acknowledged, but manifests as quick frustration when something doesn’t happen the way I want it to or a defensive reaction to what someone says or does.

On the other side of this, I have observed that sometimes when I am experiencing a period of happiness and peace, thoughts will come into my mind that something might go wrong. It’s as though I need to do something to reduce the happiness a little to keep it within the range I can accept. Spelled out like this, this is clearly insane.

But this is the way the ego wants it. If I get too unhappy I will start looking for a better way and if I get too happy, I will stop judging, forgive the world and accept the Love that I am. The ego does not want either of these to happen, for it would lose control. As long as I am willing to put up with a level of ongoing judgment of self and others, I am continuing to subscribe to the ego’s belief in separation.

But this is not what I really want. I want to remember Who I am. I want to remember the Love of my Source and my Creator. I want to remember the Love of my brother, who is one with me. I want to remember the Love that I am.

My prayer today is: Help me recognize the thoughts that separate me from Love. Help me to see the Love that is my Home and accept It in myself. Help me remember I am God’s beloved Son, along with all my brothers.
